I am passionate freelance documentary and lifestyle photographer currently studying in the third year of my BA (Hons) Photography degree at Leeds College of Art. This course has allowed me to improve a variety of skills within the studio and on location and has allowed me to understand the context of photography. On top of this, one-day briefs have forced me to respond creatively to different situations and encouraged me to think critically.

I have a very comprehensive understanding of 35mm film photography, as well as both Nikon and Canon DSLR cameras. I have a lot of experience in photographing events but mainly specialise and thoroughly enjoy creative lifestyle projects.
